Rodman declined to answer questions from
reporters on his arrival at Beijing's airport if the two met on his latest
visit.

On Sunday night, he told The Associated
Press that he had not yet had a meeting with Kim. He arrived in North Korea on
Thursday, a week after North Korea announced the execution of Kim's once-powerful uncle, sparking speculation by foreign analysts over the future
of the Kim regime.

Rodman's short visit was aimed at
finalizing plans to bring 11 other former NBA players to Pyongyang for a Jan. 8
exhibition game marking Kim's birthday.

He wants to bring the group of players
to Pyongyang for the exhibition, but has acknowledged that some of the
Americans have been reluctant to come. He has held tryouts for the North Korean
team during his visit, which began Thursday. He has said he expects to announce
the U.S. roster soon, and that he is planning another game in June.

Later Monday, Irish betting company
Paddy Power said it has cut ties with Rodman.

"Given changed circumstances, Paddy
Power has decided to withdraw its association with the Dennis Rodman basketball
initiative in North Korea," the company said in a statement.

Rodman's agent said the game is on track
despite the recent execution of Kim's uncle in a dramatic political purge.

"We've worked with Paddy Power on
several occasions before and we respect their decision," Darren Prince
said. "We'd like to thank them for all their solid work helping to make
Dennis' dream of basketball diplomacy a reality."
